THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF LANCHESTER AND BURNHOPE

Regular public worship open to all - provision of sacred space for personal prayer and contemplation - Pastoral work, including visiting the sick and the bereaved - Teaching of Christianity through sermons, courses and small groups - Taking of religious assemblies in schools - Promotion of Christianity through the staging of events and meetings - Supporting other charities in the UK and overseas

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
Why are there 18 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12?
Returns have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended

Financial issues to consider:

Spending is declining
A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
